Yummy Apples Sticker Collection

Please bring your ‘Yummy Stickers’ found on Yummy apples to school and put them in the drop off sticker box at the Junior Campus office. Blank ‘Yummy Sticker’ sheets are at the office for you to record your stickers on one page. The more ‘Yummy Stickers’ we collect enables our Sports Department to purchase sports equipment for our school. 

 So eat those juicy apples and support Kingsway!

Messages to Children During School Hours

There has been a noticeable increase in the number of parents phoning in to the Primary office, wanting messages to be delivered to their children.

Please note that reception staff are not permitted to leave the office unattended, and will no longer be able to do this unless in a real emergency.

Please ensure that your children know how they are going home each day and if a change in plan cannot be avoided, then let the office know by 1pm, so that the teaching staff can be given the message at lunchtime.

Junior Campus Foyer After School

The Junior Campus staff require the support of all parents and caregivers to please vacate the Junior Campus foyer as quickly as possible after school.

We have various sports teams, Kumon Mathematics and The sKids After School Programme operating in this area from 3.05pm. They are finding it increasingly challenging to instruct their students and run their programmes effectively.

Please Ensure Children are Clear on After School Arrangements

Parents please ensure your children know what form of transport or arrangement has been made for them at the end of the day. We seem to be having a lot of confusion at the end of the day with children uncertain whether they are taking the bus or being picked up from school. Children who have difficulty remembering what the arrangement is after school, or if this plan has changed from their usual routine, we recommend you put a note in their lunch box to remind them. 

Activity Fees

A reminder that the Primary Activity Fees for domestic students are now past the due date. Please ensure payment is made as soon as possible.
